Creditors committees

Overview

Unsecured creditors are often the businesses that have fueled a debtor company’s operations and yet are frequently ignored and “in the dark” in the early stages of a chapter 11 case. We identify with our creditors’ committee clients and get personal value and professional pride by using our legal skills and creativity to achieve the best possible results for unsecured creditors. Creditors’ committees succeed best when they are informed, aggressive and ready to fight hard for their rights, while seeking consensual business solutions that can work for every constituency in a chapter 11 case. This has become our model for how to approach a case when representing a committee. We are active, aggressive dealmakers, but we are also prepared to litigate when necessary to protect the rights of unsecured creditors.
